Your steps to Partnership
1. Choose your clinic
Start by selecting a clinic you’re interested in, or speak with one of our team who can help match you with a clinic that suits your goals and aspirations.
2. Get your valuation
We’ll prepare a clear, comprehensive valuation, so you fully understand the opportunity and what your Partnership could look like.
3. Sign your contract
When you’re ready, we’ll guide you through the contract process and celebrate this exciting milestone together at our monthly Signing Day.
4. Begin your Partnership
With everything in place, you’ll begin your Partnership journey and start shaping the future of your clinic, with our ongoing support.
I've become part of an empowering community of like-minded vets, there’s a rich reservoir of knowledge and support at my fingertips. The partnership highly values and acknowledges the significance of individual clinical control.
Through my Medivet Partnership I have the opportunity to focus more on aspects of the clinical practice that are important to me, while leaving Medivet to manage the admin of running a busy clinic.
We’re giving vets true ownership and the financial freedom that comes with it, while building on the strength of the Medivet brand. It’s the best of both worlds — local leadership powered by a trusted brand and a strong network of clinicians.
After nearly 20 years in the UK veterinary sector, the Medivet Partnership feels like the best kept secret in the profession. Taking ownership of your own practice without all the risks of a start-up, but with all the benefits of central support and guidance, creates a path to financial freedom for vets that is simply unparalleled.

Charlotte Morgan
Partnerships Director
How I can help
Having spent 10 years in first-opinion practice before moving into operational roles with Medivet, I understand the opportunities and challenges vets face throughout their careers. As Partnership Director, I can help you explore whether Partnership is the right next step for you and explore how it can provide a pathway to building a secure future while continuing to do the work you love.
Why I believe in Partnership
My experience supporting Partners is what led me to become Partnership Director. I love helping entrepreneurial vets thrive by combining their passion for veterinary practice with the opportunity to build something of their own. For me, Partnership is about giving vets the chance to shape their future, grow their careers and enjoy the rewards that come with practice ownership.
Leah Morley
Partnership Development Lead
How I can help
I bring over 25 years industry experience into my role as Partnership Development lead. Together, we will explore Partnership opportunities by looking at skills, location, team size, equipment and clinic requirements. And together, we will find the clinic that is right for you. Once we know your clinic, I will present the clinic valuation, walking you step by step through the deal and the forecasting for your Partnership.
Why I believe in Partnership
By bringing local ownership back into practices, with the full advantages that corporate support and backing offers, we’re making practice ownership possible for vets, without the risk of starting from scratch or needing to find a buyer when the time comes to exit. I feel very privileged to work in a role that I think is bridging that gap between independent and corporate ownership. It offers the best of both worlds.
Karen Cook
Partnership Development Lead
How I can help
I am a vet that has experienced all levels of working in practice, including running my own practice for 5 years. I will guide you through the Partnership journey from initial contact, valuation meeting, contract signing and right through to the launch day ensuring that you fully understand everything. It is important that we find the right fit for your skills and experience to enable you to grow and thrive as a Medivet Partner.
Why I believe in Partnership
I love how accessible it is to buy in to a Medivet practice with a solid exit option and having run my own practice I and understand the importance of this and all the emotions that come alongside practice ownership.
My passion is developing people at all stages of their career, and being Partner Development Lead allows me to provide opportunities for vets to develop themselves into great leaders. I know how important a great leader in practice is to the team, clients and pets and the Medivet Partnership allows leaders to thrive at all stages of their journey.

Investment starts from £10,000. You’ll pay an initial 10% deposit, and the remaining balance can be spread over a 10-year deferred payment period. This means you have the flexibility to repay the balance in a way that works for you during those first 10 years.
As a Partner, you’re self-employed and own an equity share in your practice. You’ll earn through your share of the profits, typically paid as regular monthly drawings. This gives you uncapped earning potential from day one. It’s a true partnership model—when Medivet succeeds, you succeed too.
You can explore our interactive map to see all the practices that are currently available and find opportunities in areas that suit you.
Not at all. One of the benefits of the Medivet co-ownership model is that it’s designed for vets at any stage, regardless of leadership or business experience. We know many vets haven’t had much exposure to the commercial side of running a practice, which is why we provide comprehensive support across HR, finance, marketing, procurement, and compliance. This allows you to focus on delivering great clinical care while building your confidence in the business side. We also offer leadership and commercial training to help you grow and succeed as a Partner.
Currently, the Partnership model is only available to veterinary surgeons.
As a Partner, you remain in control of clinical decision-making within your practice. The aim is to combine the benefits of being part of a larger organisation with the freedom to shape how your practice runs day-to-day. You’ll be able to lead the clinical direction, make decisions in the best interests of your patients, and build a culture that works for your team and clients.
You’ll have strong support both locally and centrally. At a local level, you’ll work with your Operational Support Manager, Network Partner, Network Director, and Network Marketing Manager. Alongside this, Medivet’s central support teams provide end-to-end support across HR, finance, marketing, procurement, and compliance. This means you’re never on your own—you’ll have the backing you need to grow your practice and make the most of opportunities.
When it comes to exiting, Medivet Partners are in a strong and flexible position. You can either sell your share to another vet who will continue the Partnership, or take advantage of a guaranteed buy-back option This means you don’t have to rely on finding a buyer yourself. Your exit payment is calculated based on a weighted average of your profit share over the 12 months leading up to your resignation, along with your 12-month notice period. A set multiple is then applied to determine the final exit value.
